"An ambient light source and square-wave nosie maker.

The synth is based around a 4093 quad nand gate CMOS chip.
Capable of hideously beautiful beepy noise.
The 4 cascaded oscillators interact with each other to create a relentless range of synth tones.
The power starve dial adds further modulation and manipulation of the oscillations.

The noise-making circuit is built into a Mood Cube I got from RED5.
The Mood Cube lights up using 3 LEDs. I hacked the circuit to affect the rate of the light cycle.
I also added a voltage starve for this circuit too. The reason being this; when the LEDs are on full power,
they drain power from the 4093. This in turn adds further lovely modulation to the tones.

The controls are as follows:

4 dials on top to control the rate and tone of the oscillations.
1 dial on the left side for the 4093 power starve.
2 dials on the right side. 1 for LED rate and 1 for LED intensity.
2 switches on the front. 1 momentary push button and 1 toggle switch.
1 output jack located on the back side.
1 on/off switch and 9v battery holder on the underside of the cube.

The cube fits well into the palm and can be enjoyed by anyone with a passion for harsh, grinding noise terrorism and pretty colours.
It's powered by a single 9v battery which is housed in the bottom of the cube.
There's a 6.35mm jack socket for hooking up to your amp/mixer/effects.
There's no internal speaker!"

"It is being listed for parts or repair, please read the auction fully before bidding. No returns on this item. The major issue is that does power on, but I am unable to get any sounds out of it but some noise. I tried all the different outputs and nothing. So without getting any sound I am unable to test the unit any further...

Right above that tempo knob you can see a little jack for plugging in a rhythm module. I've seen a few different versions of this machine, and this is the one with that module jack so if you have or can find any of those rare rhythm cartridges, you can plug it in and access additional rhythms! I do not have any rhythm cartridges, but they do occasionally pop up here on eBay.

There is a sheet stapled to the inside that has some schematics and diagrams on how to calibrate the sounds on the boards. It will certainly come in handy for anyone who picks this up to restore."

Rheyne - 7/1/12 - Live Looping with a MIDI Fighter 3D and Ableton Live

"Download or stream the audio at SoundCloud: http://snd.sc/OSt4ph

A live looping improv jam performed on a DJ TechTools "MIDI Fighter 3D." No phrases or pre-reocrded loops were used. Only single notes are being triggered from an instance of NI's Kontakt for drums, and three separate instances of NI's Massive for the bass, lead, and polyphonic synth. The bank-select buttons at the top of the unit selects the proper instrument in Ableton Live.

Tilting the unit to the right controls a low-pass filter on the synths. A backward tilt controls the resonance on those filters, and tilting the unit forward controls modulation/vibrato. The side buttons are controlling Ableton's loopers, and are also used to engage the master filter at the end of the song.

Lemur on the iPad is being used to clear loops and control reverb and delay on all four instruments.

More info on the DJ TechTools MIDI Fighter 3D can found on DJTT's site: http://store.djtechtools.com/midi-fighter-3d.html"

"This is a quick demo of an iPad app 'step poly arp'. It sends midi via wifi to a DAW running Logic. The sound is generated by Arturia's Jupiter 8V. The combination isn't quite stable yet, even with an 'ad hoc' connection between the iPad and Mac. I haven't yet figured why...still, the app looks very promising."
